Seasons and Eclipses Science Quiz: The Earth's revolution is responsible for ensuring there are four types of seasons: winter, spring, autumn, and summer. There are two types of eclipses, which are lunar and solar. The eclipses are differentiated based on which celestial body covers the other partially or fully. Do you know the type of eclipse occurs when a given part of the moon's shadow touches a region on Earth's surface? This quiz will refresh your memory.

The rays of the sun hit the ground at 90 degrees
The rays are vertical or perpendicular to the ground
When the Sun’s rays strike the ground at a high angle, each square meter of the ground receives a greater amount of solar energy than when the rays are inclined
The rays are horizontal and hits the ground at 180 degrees

Equinox is the midway point between the two seasonal extremes
It occurs twice within the year
The literal translation of equinox means " equal night"
It is the imaginary line that divides the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere
